Alex D'souzaManaging Editoreditor@healthcaretechoutlook.comToday's healthcare world consists of rigid and complicated coding rules, and fees for each procedure endure an oft-heated negotiation process. The administrative burden is overwhelming for physicians, who more than ever, are turning to medical billing companies for help. Advances in healthcare IT are changing the rules of the medical billing game. So, what lies on the horizon?The medical coding and billing profession will continue to see tremendous change and growth in the coming years. The biggest anticipated shift will be toward cloud-based medical billing software. In the healthcare field, cloud-based medical billing has been controversial as providers question the security when it comes to patient data. But now, via encrypted technology that is constantly updated at no added cost, patient and practice data will be kept safe while enabling qualified professionals to access it on-the-go, wherever they need it. Another promising trend is the EHR integration/interoperability. Integrating medical billing software with electronic health record offers the potential for digital payment processing from a patient portal as well as efficient payment reminders with the practice management software. The total wellbeing concepts that tie medical, emotional, financial, and social wellbeing will be more utilized in the delivery of care. Connected healthcare technologies will help reduce costs, improve cost transparency, and provide improved access to healthcare.If technology enablers succeed in capitalizing on these trends, future medical billing solutions and services hold great potential in creating an ecosystem that is simple, fast and error-free.In this edition of Healthcare Tech Outlook, we bring you the story of some of the most successful medical billing and coding solution and service providers that deliver the best outcomes for their clients.
